[X2Go-User] Always get this error when starting remote desktop, still works though

I am running x2gp on an xubuntu 19.10 system to run another xubuntu
19.10 system's desktop.  Whenever I start it up I get a pop-up window
that says:-

    Connection failed. Cannot create remote file
    ~chris/.x2go/ssh/key.abiGan - SCP: Warning: status code 1 received:
    scp: ~chris/.x2go/ssh: No such file or directory 

But the remote desktop starts up OK.  The directory ~chris/.x2go/ssh
*does* exist and seems to have reasonable permissions and copying
files to that directory using scp on the command line works OK.

Just checked, I get the same error when running individual programs.

While I'm here, another (very minor) issue, x2go leaves a dead
symbolic link (i.e.  points to a non-existent file) in ~/.x2go on the
remote system every time it makes a connection.  ...  and it leaves a
'real' file of the same name in ~/.x2go on the local system.
